Longevity: Starting from the Talent of Infant Growth

In a daze, Zhou Ling was awakened by a piercing howl.

He opened his eyes with difficulty, and saw two black-haired wild wolf corpses lying on a gravel beach not far away, with blood all over the ground.

He stared at everything in front of him blankly, and was frightened by the bloody scene, and quickly closed his eyes.

He thought it was a nightmare.

But at this time, a soft hand fell on his buttocks, and he opened his mouth and cried out in pain.

"Fortunately, I'm still alive!"

Hearing the cry, Li Ru felt relieved, and a relieved smile appeared on his pale face. It's good to be alive.

Zhou Ling was in a trance, and there was a clang in his mind.

Activate the talent [More courage after setbacks].

Achieve [Congenital malnutrition], understanding +1, constitution +2.

Suddenly, Zhou Ling stopped crying, and his eyes that were originally closed opened again.

Looking at the world curiously, the scene in front of him became clear again.

That's right, there were indeed two black wolf corpses not far away.

"Husband, it's a boy! What do you think we should call him?"

Li Ru asked a pale, sturdy, handsome and thick-looking young man not far away.

"Let's call him Zhou Ling. I hope that when this child grows up, he will have lofty ambitions and will not risk going into the mountains to collect herbs like us!"

The man looked at the baby in Li Ru's arms and said softly.

His coat was worn out and there were a few bloodstains. This was probably the blood of the black wolf, but it could also be his own.

At this time, Zhou Ling suddenly realized that he had traveled through time and became a newborn baby, and the woman and man in front of him were his parents.

This scene made him feel a little wrong, but for a while, his mind was blank and blurred.

But a blue light flashed, and then a panel appeared.

[Name]: Zhou Ling

[Spiritual Root]: Five Elements Low Grade 2/100

[Physical Fitness]: Comprehension (Ordinary 1/100), Physical Fitness (Moribund 2/100)

[Unique Talent]: More courage after more setbacks

[Growth Talent]: Born malnourished

[Kung Fu]: None

[Skills]: None

Zhou Ling felt that he had a certain ability to think and was able to observe the surrounding situation. He opened his eyes and looked at his mother and father, as if he could feel their anxiety.

They were all pale and covered in blood.

He looked at the scene of the two black wolf corpses not far away.

Zhou Ling felt numb in his heart and just wanted to leave this place quickly.

He subconsciously cried loudly.

"The child may be hungry, Ru'er, feed him quickly, don't attract other monsters, now we are injured, we can't deal with other monsters."

The man said hurriedly.

"Hey, Ling'er, mother will feed you now."

Li Ru said softly.

The next moment, Zhou Ling felt something soft in his mouth, and he sucked instinctively.

But after sucking for a long time, there was nothing.

He couldn't help crying.

Hmm?

[Growth talent, no breastfeeding: eating other foods containing spiritual energy and blood essence doubles the growth value, to achieve the requirement: sucking breast milk 20 times in total. ]

"This."

Zhou Ling was groaning in his heart. This was a hellish start. Not to mention the danger, he couldn't even eat a hot meal!

"Is this the main function of the system? Get growth talent. As long as you complete the prompted tasks, you can get the corresponding growth talent?"

Although he didn't suck fresh milk, Zhou Ling continued to suck.

I can't not suck!

This growth talent without breastfeeding must be achieved as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid I'll starve to death!

"Husband, I was just injured and I don't have milk for my son!"

Although it felt a little painful when the child bit, Li Ru said with a guilty look.

Zhou Shan couldn't help but stand up, looking around with an anxious look on his face.

Then he looked at the body of the black wolf and walked over.

He took out a pottery bowl from the storage bag.

The knife in his hand skillfully cut across the body of the black wolf.

Soon, a bowl of wolf blood that was still emitting heat was brought to Zhou Ling.

"My son has just been born, is it okay to give him this?"

Looking at the small half bowl of wolf blood, Li Ru's pale face was stunned for a moment, and he didn't want his child to eat wolf blood.

"I don't care, if we attract other black wolves later, we will be in trouble!"

As soon as the voice fell, Zhou Shan looked quite solemn, and said helplessly, and then began to feed Zhou Ling wolf blood.

[You suck breast milk twenty times! ]

[Effect: Cumulatively suck breast milk twenty times]

[No breastfeeding talent achieved! ]

Zhou Ling was so hungry that his eyes were black at this moment, and he didn't care what was in the bowl. He couldn't wait to suck it crazily.

A burning and rich smell of blood rushed into his throat.

[Physique +1, Physique +1...]

[Dying 8/100.]

After swallowing a small bowl of wolf blood, Zhou Ling licked his tongue with a sense of satisfaction.

He could feel that his physical strength and power had improved a little, and he was no longer as weak as before, with a feeling of dying.

But just a slight improvement would not make him much stronger. He was essentially still a baby with insufficient Qi and blood, and he needed a long time to grow.

"Good boy, you are still like me, with a tough life!"

Zhou Shan's voice was a little hoarse due to fatigue, but he still laughed heartily when he saw the baby with blood all over his mouth.

"Husband, let's collect the corpse of the monster and return to the camp quickly!"

Li Ru looked at the child, his eyes full of reluctance and self-blame. He reached out and gently wiped the blood from the corner of the child's mouth, and said in a weak tone.

Zhou Shan nodded.

······.

Ten days later, they left the wilderness camp and returned to a fairy city called Lingxia City.

During these ten days, because Li Ru was seriously injured, there was no milk in his body.

Therefore, Zhou Ling ate the blood of monsters for ten days.

Completely got rid of the dying state.

The state also changed to less than 6/1000 blood.

At the same time, because in the wilderness camp, the howling of monsters was heard every night.

Zhou Ling also stimulated a new growth talent [Crisis Response]: able to sense the existence of danger in the shortest time.

Each time it is used, a lot of mental power is consumed.

Perhaps because of the time travel, Zhou Ling is relatively strong in mental power.

At present, he can barely use this crisis response talent, but it is only limited to a very small range.

And this talent skill is undoubtedly quite practical in this world full of dangers.

In these short ten days, Zhou Ling also experienced several dangers.

For example, Zhou Shan once obtained fresh monster blood from other monster hunters in the camp, but this blood was infected with evil poison. Once drunk, it would be dangerous.

Another time, a poisonous scorpion crawled into the camp in the middle of the night.

Because his parents were tired and their injuries had not yet recovered, they slept deeply.

Zhou Ling could only rely on instinct, crying loudly, waking up the two, and then killing the poisonous scorpion.

After the physical fitness was upgraded, the physical fitness would not improve as fast as before when consuming monster blood.

But because his mother stimulated the fetal qi when she killed the black wolf, she gave birth to him early.

So there was still obvious malnutrition.

If it weren't for stimulating his growth talent, consuming monster blood, and obtaining double growth value, he would have died long ago.

And these days, he has a general understanding of his journey through this world from the conversations between his parents and other pharmacists.

This is a world of cultivation.

The so-called Dao League is now the one that has unified this vast world of cultivation.

The Dao League commands countless human immortal cities.

However, these have little to do with the lower-level cultivators.

The lower-level casual cultivators still have a hard life and struggle to cultivate.

Take Zhou Shan for example, he is a physical cultivator with a first-level mid-stage cultivation.

His wife Li Ru is at the fourth level of Qi training.

The couple has no special skills, so they have no choice but to choose the dangerous profession of pharmacist.

Every month, they have to team up with other casual cultivators to enter the wilderness to find spiritual medicine.

They use spiritual medicine to exchange for spiritual stones to maintain the couple's daily cultivation and survival in Lingxia Immortal City.

And searching for spiritual medicine in the wilderness is extremely dangerous. There are monsters everywhere in the wilderness, and once you encounter one, you will die.

But the high cost of living in Lingxia Immortal City leaves them with no choice.

In Lingxia Immortal City, most casual cultivators have no inheritance and are busy every day to earn spiritual stones. For the rest of their lives, most of them can only be cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm.

And the Qi-training monks, in the Dao League, are just the lowest and humble existence.

However, no matter what, Zhou Ling feels that it is better than the miserable 996 in his previous life, and the mortgage that cannot be paid off every day!

······.

In a blink of an eye, more than three months have passed.

After these days of development, Zhou Ling has gradually become stronger.

He has gradually mastered the use of the golden finger.

Knowing that this is an achievement-oriented golden finger, every time a task is triggered, as long as it is completed, it can condense the growth talent.

These days, he has stimulated a new talent.

[Growth talent, physical evolution: exert physical strength to gain exponential growth, to achieve the requirement: body movement a thousand times. ]

[Cumulative number of exercises: 988/1000]

Zhou Ling glanced at the talent progress on the panel and continued to crawl on the wooden bed.

"Ahem, son, you don't sleep well, crawling around all day."

"Mother has to work, so she doesn't have that much time to take care of you."

Li Ru, wearing simple cloth clothes and with a beautiful face, was sitting at the head of the bed, squinting her eyes and picking herbs in the winnowing basket.

The room was not bright.

Zhou Ling's home was on a remote street on the western edge of Lingxia Fairy City. The house was a bit old, with two rooms and a small hall, and a small open space in front, enough for a family of three.

But the rent was not cheap, six low-grade spirit stones per month.

Most of the people living nearby were like Zhou Shan, who made a living by searching for spirit medicine in the wilderness or doing some chores.

Seeing Zhou Ling crawling to the edge of the wooden bed, Li Ru's eyes were full of doting, and she couldn't help but get up and carry Zhou Ling to the middle of the wooden bed again.

At the same time, she murmured in confusion, "My son is still a little short of blood and energy, but why is he so active?"

"He can crawl for so long in more than three months?"

"Is it because of my husband's physical training!"

Seeing Zhou Ling just sitting down, she waved her hands restlessly.

She smiled and said softly, "Ling'er, are you awake? Mother will make you some paste!"

Because the injuries in her body have not been fully recovered, she has no milk.

After returning to Lingxia City, she no longer fed Zhou Ling animal blood, but spiritual rice paste.

"Don't move around!"

Li Ru warned and walked towards the small kitchen outside.

Zhou Ling looked at the panel, stretched out his little hand again, and continued to crawl.

There was no other way, the only effective way now was to crawl.

[You are crawling, arm strength +1, leg strength +1, constitution +1]

[Effect: 1001 crawls in total]

[Achieve growth talent and physical evolution]

【Cumulative exercise: 1001/10,000】

Zhou Ling, who was crawling back and forth on the wooden bed, looked at the prompts that appeared on the panel.

I couldn't help but feel excited.

After this period of time, the fourth growth talent was finally stimulated.

Especially in his current physical condition, he is still malnourished.

Next, as long as you do some simple exercises every day, you can improve your physical fitness.

Of course, the only thing I can do now is either wave my hands or crawl around.

"Ling'er, why did you crawl out again!"

At this time, Li Ru walked in holding a pottery bowl in his hand.

The faint aroma of spiritual rice fills the air.

Li Ru's craftsmanship is very good. Although it is a simple paste, some spiritual rice and elixir are added to it, which is not only nutritious, but also delicious.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, she gently blew the paste in the bowl and felt that it was no longer very hot. Then she took a spoon, took a small spoonful, and began to feed Zhou Ling.

A bowl of spiritual rice paste is swallowed.

[Physique +1, blood qi is insufficient 506/1000. 】

After eating, Zhou Ling continued to crawl.

"Ling'er, you can't take a rest!" Li Ru said with a doting look on his face.

······．

over the next month.

As the number of crawls increased, Zhou Ling's limb strength also continued to grow stronger.

Not only has his crawling proficiency continued to improve, but he has also gradually been able to stand, but he is still unable to walk.

[You are crawling, physical fitness +1, arm and leg strength +1, crawling proficiency +1]

In order to increase crawling efficiency, Zhou Ling was no longer satisfied with a small wooden bed.

Climb off the wooden bed and crawl around in the small room.

Li Ru was busy picking up medicine and drying it and getting him several meals a day, so he didn't care much about him.

A month later, Zhou Ling learned to walk again.

[You are walking, constitution +1, body coordination +1, walking proficiency +1]

【Physical malnutrition 1/10000】

"After half a year of hard work, my body has improved!"

Zhou Ling thought to himself.

Through his parents' daily conversations with other neighbors and friends, he also knew that the physical constitution of children in this world was far superior to that of the Blue Star in his previous life.

Some children are even gifted and can absorb spiritual energy and practice within one month of their birth.

But his physical fitness is already far behind.

So next, we have to work hard to catch up.

Zhou Ling thought to himself while waving his arms.
